Deadline: 7 October 2016
The Stabilisation Unit (SU) of UK’s Department for International Development (DFID) is currently seeking partners to develop and manage a new training programme namely- Hostile Environment Training, for deployees travelling and working in Fragile and Conflict Affected States (FCAS).
The SU is the Government’s centre of expertise and best practice in stabilisation. Set up to respond to the complex challenges of fragile and conflict affected states, it is a uniquely integrated civil-military operational unit, designed to be agile and responsive and well-equipped to operate in high threat environments. It combines in-house staff expertise with the ability to draw on a larger pool of civilian expertise for specialised, longer term or larger scale takings to work with countries on conflict, stabilisation and security issues.
The appropriate selection, training and accreditation of suitable personnel is integral to the SU’s ability to mitigate the foreseeable risks that its deployees may face in fragile and conflict affected environments around the world. A major piece of the SU’s remit is its ability to deploy personnel both bilaterally to HMG platforms and to multilateral platforms with the EU, UN, and NATO in an agile and flexible manner.
